Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Skills Recognition is an assessment process allowing individuals to achieve all, or part, of a Nationally

Recognised Qualification by demonstrating their knowledge, skills and experience in a particular trade.

These courses are also offered as apprenticeships.

Generally, to complete a qualification via RPL, you provide evidence of experience and assessment materials to prove you meet industry requirements, develop your skills, enhance job opportunities and earn possible university credits.
